The rules for the FA Cup tipping comp are simple. They've been unchanged for decades, but this year we have three changes: bonus point for solo weekly win, perfect bonus is now 12/16 not 13/16, bonus for 10+/16 removed:
This year's comp is the 25th edition of the FA Cup tipping comp. Last season's comp was won by Llynfi, in his first-ever podium finish (emulating the win by toolccol4u the year before) .. srini701 won silver and Dizart bronze. Over the last 24 years we've had 14 different winners .. and only two have been able to successfully defend their title: srini701, who won this in 2009 and 2010, and N-Bomb in 2018 and 2019 (they're also the only players to have won this three times) .. paper_aero has been on the podium five times, without striking gold.
The draw for the First Round took place last week on Monday 20th October. The tipping thread for the First Round will be finalised by the middle of next week, when the FA have finalised TV times and the Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon split. If you'd like to have a go at this year's comp and become the 15th different winner, please sign-in and ... have a go!

The FA Cup is the world's oldest football knock-out competition (it began 150 odd years ago in 1872). The 2027 comp will be the 146th edition. The preliminary started in August. There are no replays from R1 onwards (there are replays though to the Fourth Round Qualifying). All games from R1 onwards will be decided on the day, with extra time and then a penalty shoot if it's still a draw. If you've got some time to kill:  https://www.thefa.com/-/media/thefacom-new/files/competitions/2026-27/rules/rules-of-the-fa-challenge-cup-2026-27.ashx : FA Cup Rules Season 2026-27. The Football Association has accepted entries from 743 teams for the 2027 FA Cup, comprising 651 non-league teams plus the 92 league teams. The all-time record field is 763, which was set back in 2012. The 92 league teams are the 44 in the FAPL and FLC (20 & 24), plus the 48 teams in League One and League Two (24 each).

points default upsets perfect picks other bonus pts dead-heats | one point for each correct pick .. home win, draw, away win. In other words, it's always at 90 minutes; penalty-shootout lotteries are ignored. if you forget to pick, you will receive the wooden spoon score (this includes advance picks). you score a bonus point if you pick a game solo .. or one of two players if we have 10+ runners; or one of three if we have 18 or more runners. one bonus point for 12/16 (plus a knighthood from HM). no one picks win, whoever picks a draw; no one picks draw, whoever picks the upset win; solo weekly win. weekly wins vs. wooden spoon countback determine podium finishes; if they're identical, bonus pts will be used. |
